The holiday season is the perfect time to tap into your intuition and embrace a little thoughtful contemplation amid the festivities. Think of your inner voice as a gentle guide, helping you pause and reflect on what truly matters to you during this time of year. Are there traditions or moments that bring you genuine joy, and others that feel like they’re just part of the holiday “shoulds”? Taking time to listen to your instincts can help you make choices that honor your well-being and let you fully enjoy the magic of the season.
Intuition can also serve as a powerful compass when navigating holiday stress. With so many expectations and obligations, it’s easy to feel pulled in a hundred directions at once. By tuning into your inner voice, you can identify when you need to step back, set boundaries, or even say no. This isn’t about letting others down; it’s about preserving your energy for the things that matter most to you. After all, a season meant for joy shouldn’t leave you feeling depleted.
By weaving intuition into your self-care, you create space for quiet moments of reflection—an opportunity to check in with yourself and what you truly need. Maybe it’s a walk under twinkling lights, watching a holiday movie with a warm mug of tea, or simply stepping away from the noise to savor a peaceful moment. Trusting your instincts allows you to celebrate the season with more intention, ensuring it feels not just busy, but meaningful. It’s a reminder that this time of year isn’t just about giving to others, but also giving yourself the gift of thoughtful care.
As you embrace your intuition, let it guide you toward traditions and experiences that align with your values and bring you true happiness. This could mean simplifying your plans, focusing on meaningful connections, or even creating new rituals that reflect the person you are today. When you honor your instincts, you allow yourself to experience the holidays with a sense of peace and authenticity—turning a potentially overwhelming season into one of personal fulfillment.

TODAY'S GIFT
25 DAYS of BOOKISH SELF-CARE
For you today's gift is a storylines journal from Creator's Friend. Personally, I love a reading journal, but the reason that I like this one the most is because it isn't just for reading. You can use it for podcasts, films, television, etc. I also like the format and think it is easy to use and gather your thoughts.
THE 25 DAYS BOXES
If you're new to the self-care boxes this year, allow me to introduce you to the intuition candle. If you've gotten a box before, you know.
This candle is a box exclusive and always will be. I made this candle for day one of the very first boxes I did. It was an especially fun blend to pull together and I poured (pun intended) a lot of heart and soul into this one. I could go on and on about the importance of following your intuition and listening to your inner Jiminy Cricket, but I'll spare you. Long soap box rant short, I think that intuition is the easiest thing to get ignored around the holidays, and as long as I do these boxes, you're getting this candle. :)
